Breakfast is quite possibly my favorite meal- when there's sweet and savory, and never ending freshly brewed coffee, I am a happy woman. Throw in some salty bacon or sausage and it's a perfect meal in our household. Eating breakfast at dinnertime is even better and so comforting.

Hi! Remember me?! I've been away for some time. It wasn't planned, I just got burnt out. I worked so hard on the cookbook and was making and photographing 2-3 recipes a day. Once it was all done, it was a huge relief but I really didn't want to do it anymore and that meant blogging was put on hold. That also meant that I didn't pick up my camera for a long time either. I am still baking and Monica Hhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14767867041043811045noreply@blogger.com24tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-626395299879503000.post-80511993977737773992014-11-19T18:56:00.000-06:002014-11-19T18:56:54.820-06:00Pumpkin Spice Pie & The Jif Giveaway Winner
I make pumpkin pie every year but I've never blogged about it. Maybe I feel it's so common it's not worth a post of it's own? Or perhaps I think everyone has their own recipe for it already? Or maybe I just never got a good picture of the pie? I don't really know the answer, but today I'm sharing my version of this pie.
There's a BBQ joint here in town that sells pumpkin pies Monica Hhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14767867041043811045noreply@blogger.com5tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-626395299879503000.post-45879191999360137462014-11-12T01:30:00.000-06:002014-11-19T12:47:29.627-06:00Almond Butter Pie And A Giveaway!
In honor of my 600th post and my 7th year of blogging at Lick The Bowl Good, I have an awesome giveaway for you today! I received a few jars of Jif Almond and Cashew Butters recently. We had a few snacks incorporating the butters but I was itching to make something with it, so I made pie! In my opinion, pie is perfect any time- it's a casual, comforting dessert.

I recently received a shipment of New Jif Almond and Cashew Butters. Next to pecans, almonds are my favorite nut so I was super excited to get to try these. I was never a big fan of cashews until about a year ago when a friend gave me some salted cashew brittle, that was simply amazing, and now I can't get enough of the elbow shaped nut! Both flavors come in creamy and crunchy and are Monica Hhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14767867041043811045noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-626395299879503000.post-84266628241421653822014-10-31T01:34:00.000-05:002014-10-31T01:34:51.041-05:00Happy Halloween!

I had a major craving for chocolate cake one night. It was almost time to start dinner, so I didn't really have time to search for a recipe or bring butter to room temperature so I pulled out one of my favorite baking books- Bundt Classics. I immediately found a recipe that looked good to me and I had all the ingredients on hand. Of course, I added my own touches to it and it took this Monica Hhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14767867041043811045noreply@blogger.com13tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-626395299879503000.post-46064557345573754752014-10-26T15:50:00.000-05:002014-10-26T16:21:48.808-05:00Smucker's Giveaway Winner

I'm a little late with the post, but better late than never, right? Today I'm sharing with you a couple photos from Hayden's 3rd birthday. We had a Labor day celebration with family and friends complete with a petting zoo and an ice cream sundae station courtesy of Smucker's.
Hayden is a lover and was so thrilled to see each and every one of his guests.

Any time I see Biscoff or brown butter in a recipe, I perk up and my eyes get a little bigger. I love those two ingredients and they're even better when you you combine them to make these Salted Brown Butter Biscoff Treats. Rice Krispy treats are so easy to make and they're perfect to make any time of year and I've never met any one who didn't like them.

It's been one year since I released my cookbook Lick The Bowl Good so I thought I'd celebrate by sharing one of my favorite recipes from the book- Pumpkin Bundt Cake with Brown Butter Glaze.
This is an adaptation of the Cinderella Cake that I have been baking for years. I swapped out the cream cheese icing for a deliciously nutty brown butter icing.

I was given the opportunity to partner up with Balance Bar and Walmart to try a "new to me" product. I've heard of and I've seen Balance Bars in stores but I've never felt compelled to try them until now. In the past, I've eaten other protein bars and they all have a similar texture and taste. I'll admit, I was a little skeptical and didn't think I'd like these but I did!

I felt out of place the other day in my own kitchen. I took a few months off away from baking and blogging and I almost forgot how to do it! I post pics to my Instagram (monica_h30) account daily, but it's been awhile since I've actually picked up my DSLR to photograph a recipe with the intent to blog. It was exciting and kind of nerve wracking at the same time.

I bought these tulip cupcake liners about 3 years ago with the thought that I would make some really pretty Mother's Day cupcakes and that just never happened.

Hello my lovelies! How I have missed you and this blog. I've been rather quiet lately and not baking much. I think I did so much with the cookbook that I haven't felt like doing much else. I didn't even bake Christmas cookies this past holiday. I feel somewhat unmotivated and drained. I know that will change and I'll be excited to get back in the kitchen again. Until then, I just wanted to Monica Hhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14767867041043811045noreply@blogger.com12tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-626395299879503000.post-3507158157013401972014-01-02T12:19:00.004-06:002014-01-02T12:19:59.756-06:00Giveaway Winners- Happy 2014!

When we were kids, my step mom, Olivia, used to make my brother and me caramel brownies. She didn't make them very often and I remember them being really good (they were my brother's favorite) but I thought maybe it was a difficult recipe so they were only made for special occasions. I was wrong! She shared the recipe with me and they could not be simpler to make.

A few weeks ago my blogger friend Cyndi from Tender Tummy showed me this adorable print someone had posted on Instagram. Of course I wanted one! The print is made by Ashley from Eat Say Love on Etsy.

Here's a simple yet delicious and equally impressive pie I made a couple weeks ago. I found the recipe from Christy at The Girl Who Ate Everything. I read the reviews on Allrecipes and made some tweaks. I also made my own graham cracker crust.
